Chapter 88: The Murder of a Diplomat (5)
"It's ...... in this keyring," Twilight took a deep breath before she said slowly, "Nothing!"
"Nani?" everyone was shocked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
From the time Shinichi appeared, during which he denied Pingji's reasoning step by step, he was right-headed, and no one expected Shinichi to drop the chain at the last moment and make such a joke.
Hearing that the facts are different from his own reasoning, Shinichi rushes up to Twilight, snatches the key ring from Twilight's hand, and holds it in his hand to verify it himself.
Naturally, the result was that there was really nothing in the keyring.
Suddenly, Shinichi thought of a possibility, and he immediately turned his head to the star standing in the corner of the room.
Could it be that he is shielding criminals again?
Shinichi asked with a look in his eyes, and Xingchen smiled slightly, acknowledging his conjecture.
In the vast majority of stories, the heroes of the righteous side tend to be reversed only at the last minute.
After watching the reasoning show of Heiji and Shinichi, Xingchen felt that it was time for him to play!
"Ahem!ahem!" Xingchen cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention to himself before he said with a look of regret: "Brother Shinichi, what a pity! It seems that your reasoning also has a fatal flaw!"
The hateful little devil, he must have erased the evidence, but who would believe this when he said it? Not to mention that he still has a handle in his hands.
Shinichi can be 100% sure that the mastermind behind the current situation is definitely Xingchen.
"So tell me what the hell is going on with this case?" Shinichi held back his anger to see what Xingchen would say.
"I don't know, I'm just a child!" Xingchen blocked all the questions that Shinichi might have asked in one sentence.
Looking at the innocent expression on Xingchen's face, Shinichi was very mad, but there was nothing he could do about him.
Xingchen is very happy, he likes to see other people eating deflated, before it was Conan, now it is Shinichi.
"However, if I have to say it, I think Brother Heiji's reasoning is correct!"
"What?" Twilight cried out first, even in his heart, Twilight hoped that Heiji would win this reasoning, but if he couldn't do too much, if he was too partial to Heiji, then he couldn't get over face.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Shinichi has already pointed out the loopholes in Heiji's reasoning?"
"Let him continue, I would like to hear what the head of the Junior Detective Corps has to say!" Shinichi knew that Xingchen would not be untargeted, so let's listen to Xingchen's statement for the time being and see if he could find a flaw in his words.
"I want to drink coffee milk. Without coffee milk, my reasoning ability will be reduced by 40%!" Xingchen took the opportunity to put forward his own conditions, not only to satisfy his own selfish desires, but also to buffer everyone's nervous emotions.
The owner of the house, Diplomat Ikemura, is dead, and the old man has just confessed to the murder, so Mrs. Ikemura is now in charge of the house.
"Butler Xiaochi, there is coffee and milk in the refrigerator in the living room, you go and make a cup of coffee and milk for Young Master Xingchen and bring it. ”
Diplomats often have to meet with a variety of guests at home, and coffee and milk are the most common beverages besides tea.
While the butler was brewing coffee and milk, the play of "Brother" in the home theater had long since stopped, and Xingchen walked up to the stereo and pressed the replay button, and set the song to play on a loop.
"Brother Shinichi, you've been sweating a lot, so let's sit down and rest first. Seungchen moved a chair for Shinichi to sit down, knowing that Shinichi's current performance was a side effect of drinking liquor that caused his body to return to its original state.
"Brother Shinichi, please listen to the famous Russian folk song playing on the stereo. Set in Russia during World War II, the song depicts a touching story about a pair of brothers separated from their mother. ”
Everyone wondered: who is still in the mood to listen to ballads now?
Twilight thought to herself: When did Xingchen understand Russian?
In addition to the parties involved, only Shinichi was present who understood the meaning of Xingchen's words.
During the investigation of the case, Shinichi saw an old photo of Mrs. Ikemura and noticed that her appearance when she was young was very similar to Miss Sachiko, who was being investigated.
Shinichi only vaguely guessed that Mrs. Ikemura had some relationship with Miss Sachiko, but he didn't expect Xingchen to use the song to hint at the special brother-sister, mother-son relationship between Miss Sachiko, Takazen Ikemura and Mrs. Ikemura.
Shinichi exclaimed in his heart: "Xingchen actually saw through the truth behind the truth one step ahead of himself, and completed the means of dealing with it according to his ideas, is this guy a demon?"
Butler Koike quickly mixed authentic French coffee with fresh low-fat milk in a 1:1 ratio and served it to the stars.
Xingchen picked up the mug, took a sip of coffee and milk, closed his eyes and tasted it before he said slowly: "Compared with the ordinary reasoning of Brother Shinichi, I think the reasoning techniques in Brother Pingji's mouth are more exciting." ”
"Reasoning is not about judging the outcome by looking at which modus operandi is brilliant. Although Heiji's reasoning is very exciting, Shinichi has just said that the key ring can't be put in a V-shaped pocket, how can this be explained?" Twilight is like Watson next to Sherlock Holmes, and the meaning of his existence is more to pave the way for the protagonist's reasoning.
"It's too simple, I have two ways to achieve what Shinichi's brother just said is impossible. Do you want to hear the simple version, or the high-tech version?" Xingchen took another sip of coffee milk.
"Let's talk about the simplified version first!" Shinichi wanted to see what he would say.
Xingchen picked up the victim's key ring and said while demonstrating it himself: "The simple version of the method is like the reasoning of Brother Heiji, the only thing that needs to be slightly changed is to tie a slipknot with fishing line on the key teeth, so that the key and the key ring can enter the pocket in a 'V' shape. ”
How simple is it?
Everyone suddenly realized that as long as they tied an extra slipknot, they could achieve the "impossible technique" in the new bite just now.
Pingji listened to Xingchen's reasoning and reacted that it was completely because he was forced by Shinichi's aggressive attitude that he would ignore such a simple method in the chaos.
"And what about the high-tech version?" Shinichi expected that Xingchen would have a way of reasoning about himself, and now he wanted to see how Xingchen could justify his solution.
"High-tech methods of crime are more complicated. It's also the same technique that Heiji's brother just reasoned about, but it needs to use a strong magnet to rub the iron key ring repeatedly to make it magnetic, so that the key ring can absorb the key, and the key ring can also be made into a V-shaped shape into the inner pocket. Xingchen said unhurriedly.
